Juventus are continuing to explore their options in attack ahead of the January transfer window, with Alexander Sørloth emerging as a potential target for the Bianconeri.
According to Spanish transfer outlet Fichajes, the Turin giants are seriously considering making a formal offer to Atlético Madrid for the Norwegian international, hoping to strengthen attacking options during the second half of the season.

The 1995-born striker remains on Juventus’ radar as the club looks for a physical presence capable of making a difference in the final third. His profile could appeal to Spalletti, who is keen to find the right solution to improve the team’s attacking efficiency.
Atlético Madrid Set €35 Million Asking Price
Atlético Madrid are reportedly open to the possibility of selling Sørloth, meaning a potential transfer cannot be ruled out. However, the Spanish club are not expected to make negotiations easy, with Fichajes reporting that they value the striker at no less than €35 million.
Juventus, meanwhile, could be prepared to offer around €30 million to bring the Scandinavian forward to Turin. That figure would fall short of Atlético’s reported demands, potentially forcing the Italian club to explore alternative ways of structuring a deal.
One possibility could involve Jonathan David, who is currently on loan at Atlético Madrid. The Canadian striker reportedly has a €25 million purchase option, and Juventus could consider including him in negotiations to help facilitate Sørloth’s arrival.
Such a solution would depend on the positions of all parties involved, but it could provide Juventus with an alternative to paying Atlético’s full asking price in cash.
Juventus Weigh Up Their Options
For now, Sørloth’s future remains uncertain, with several details still to be clarified before negotiations can progress. Juventus will need to determine whether Atlético are willing to compromise on their valuation or whether a player-involved deal could prove more attractive.
The coming weeks should provide a clearer picture of the Bianconeri’s intentions as they assess their attacking options ahead of January. Sørloth remains a name to watch, although reaching an agreement with Atlético Madrid could prove challenging.
